Thing 11 - Web 2.0 Tools

How ironic! I just used this site with PLowe in a group project, www.goanimate.com, to do a presentation on Schools That Change.  We thought it was the perfect medium for our topic, to keep it light and positive.

Here is our video presentation, the scenes without dialogue were our talking points.  Check it out!

Animated Presentations - Powered by GoAnimate.

I truly enjoyed making this and upon seeing it my mind IMMEDIATELY thought of ideas for use in the classroom!

In the classroom:

• students can use goanimate to create an original story where the teacher can assess their comprehension of the narrative elements (character, setting, plot and theme)
• students can use goanimate to create an alternative ending to a story or 
• change the story into a different genre by changing its elements
• students can use goanimate as we did, as an alternative to traditional presentation mediums, for a project or task WHILE at the SAME TIME developing technology skills and abilities.
